Yikes! Root rot, why?!
Hello, I'm new to the orchid caring community as I've recently bought two beautiful phalenopsis orchids.
I'm concerned with how they are potted (in peat moss), but more urgently I'm worried that I am either overwatering or have a flower that has come across a disease.
I have only had them a couple of weeks and I've been watering by soaking the medium thoroughly before letting it drain.
I've worried about this a bit as the peat moss seems to still hold a LOT of water, but I'd seen that process recommended online somewhere and went for it.
Attached are pictures of the affected roots and my new bloom that is withering.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,
-Dave
